How can I make a node be readonly AFTER SPECIFIED DAY?

yoit - August 12, 2008 - 02:52

Hello,everyone!
I have a forum made by drupal.
My forum often have some prediction games (3,4 games/ week).

Which module can provide following function:
Before the deadline day, web user can post and edit their predictions (node) on forum;
after the deadline day, web user cannot edit their predictions (node) , their predictions (node)
would changed to be readonly mode. [Certainly, administrator can edit them.]

I used module Auto Expire before. However, this module only can make node be unpublished and deleted.
I want to have a module which has similar function as module Auto Expire, but it can make node be readonly
or non-editable by user AFTER DEADLINE.

[Certainly, if I can set number of days after an item was created when it will be deadline day
(as module Auto Expire), it is wonderful!!]

THANKS!

Yoit,

I guess you do not want to make the node read-only, but its comments. The module Comment Closer supposedly does what you want.

Dear Mark:

Thank you, but, in fact, I want to make the node (not comment) read-only,
do you have any recommendation of module?

Thank you!

Because I'm not a programmer.......

I'm a common people.

I use drupal because I know nothing of php, programming.......
Drupal have lots of great module,
which lead me to be able to build a useful forum
without the knowledge of programming.

I really didn't mean that

Sorry if you have taken from your heart. :)

B'coz your requirement is highly customized, I think you won't find any modules that fulfill your requirements. :)

And I am thinking of creating the same. ;)
